LUDWIG HIRSCH, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

OILER FOR B'ICYCLES, 80G.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 521,614, dated June 19,1894. Application filed October 9, 1893- Serial No. 487,661- (No model.)

the invention consists of an oiler which is provided with a spout mademovable in a stuffing box on the oiler and adapted to be guided on astationary pin at the interior of the body of the oiler, said spoutbeing provided at its inner end with a funnel-shaped mouth, so as topermit the discharge of the lubricating material from the oiler, whenthe spout is drawn in outward direction to its full extent, while itprevents the escape of the same when the spout is pushed inwardly overthe stationary pin.

In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent verticalsections of my improved pocket-oiler, showing the spout respectively ina position for closing or opening the oiler. Figs. 3 and 4 are verticalsections of a sewing-machine oiler.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the bodyof the pocket-oiler,which is made of circular shape with fiat side-walls, so as to be easilycarried in the pocket, and especially adapted for the use of wheelmen,or which is made in conical shape, in the well -known shape ofsewing-machine oilers. The body is made of sheet-metal, either oneside-wall or the bottom being made flexible, so as to per mit theejecting of the oil in the body. The body A is provided'with astationary elongated guide pin a at the interior of the body A, whichpin is applied to any suitable point of the oiler, said pin being nearlyequal in length with the diameter of the pocket-oiler,

as shown in Fig. 1, or nearly equal in length with the height of theconical oiler, shown in Fig. 3. In the former case, the pin a isattached to a point on the circumference of the body, while in thelatter case the pin is attachedv to the center of the bottom of thebody. The spout B of the oiler is arranged axially in line with thestationary pin a, but instead of being stationary, it is made to slidein a suitable stuffing-box b that is arranged at a point opposite thepoint of connection of the stationary pin with the body A. The inner endof the spout B is enlarged so as to form a conical shaped mouth I) whichprevents the withdrawing of the spout from the body A, and which permitsthe tight-seating of the inner end of the spout against the inner end ofthe stufling-box, so as to prevent any escape of the liquid between thespout and stuffing-box. The outer end of the spout B is provided with asuitable shoulder or other device (Z, by means of which the spout isreadily pushed into the body A of the oiler, or pulled outwardly fromthe same. When the spout Bis pushed into the oiler, the inner end of thesame passes readily over the stationary pin a and is guided thereonuntil the mouth arrives at the opposite point of the body, so as topermit by the seating of the flaring mouth against the bottom of thebody and the tight-fitting of the pin into the spout B thereliable'closing of the oiler, so that no discharge of oil from the sameis possible.

. When the spout is in the body A, the oiler can be placed in anydesired position without discharge or leakage of oil,'so that thesoiling of the pockets, clothes or fingers is obviated. When the spoutis pushed in the outward direction until its enlarged mouth arrives atthe inner end of the stuffing-box, thespout clears the stationary pin aand the oil can be readily ejected from the body through the spout tothe outside by pressing on the flexible side-wall or bottom of the oilerin the usual well-known manner. The sliding-spout in connection with thestationary pin can also be arranged in sheet-metal oilcans, in whichcase they can be readily opened or closed by pulling out or pushing inthe spout. It can also be applied to oil-cans, lamp-founts and similarreceptacles, the pin has to be supported on a suitable sheet-metalbracket or hanger attached to the stuffingbox, as shownin Fig. 5, but inother respects the construction is the same. i

Having thus described my invention, what I claimas new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-- 1. An oiler, composed of a suitable body,a shifting spout or tube guided in a stuffingbox of the body, an innerelongated stationary guide-pin projecting from the bottom of the oilerin line with the spout to a point near the top of the body, said spoutbeing adapted to be moved inwardly over the pin and seated at its innerend on the bottom of the body, or outwardly so as to clear the same,substantially as set forth.

2. An oiler, composed of a suitable body, an inner elongated stationaryguide-pin projecting from the bottom of the oiler to a point forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed myname in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

LUDWIG IIIRSCII.
